@leaky20	Sacre Coeur Basilica	France

Sacre Coeur is the second most visited church in France next to the Notre Dame, though in my opinion Sacre Coeur is much more unique and interesting. All of the Notre Dames look almost exactly the same but I haven't seen a single other church in France that looks like Sacre Coeur. It is a truly unique building. Nonetheless the church is still ranked second, receiving only 10 million visitors each year compared to Notre Dames 13 million.

@lunaticanto	A museum inspired by UFOs and the Caribbean Sea - Un museo inspirado en ovnis y el mar Caribe	Venezuela

This museum is also known as "The Eye of God" due to the shape of its facade, but it can also be quickly associated with extraterrestrial life because its shape is similar to that of a UFO, in fact, when you enter the museum you feel inside a spaceship and not only that, most of the works there are inspired by the space theme, there were even some that I did not understand until I later saw the photos and in contrast to the light of its stained glass windows I realized that they looked like little beings from another planet.

@jelenaa	Architecture of the 18th century - Church of Saint Marina in Greece	Greece

When we got outside we wanted to go back inside because it was much colder. In front of the church there is a spacious yard in the shade of trees, so it is very pleasant to walk around. The church is located in one of the most beautiful parts of Greece when it comes to untouched nature. It is an amazing fact that in the very place where the church is now, the ancient Greeks once prayed and admired the goddess of wilderness and nature, Artemis. It was a very valuable experience to go back to the 18th century and admire the advanced architecture of a Greek village of that time.
